With a null-modem cable, and tie a getty to the serial port. Something like: S1:456:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT9600 vt420 in your /etc/inittab, and perhaps some gettydefs entries.. Then an "init q" to restart init. You hopefully will get a login banner and prompt on the vt420... See the Serial howto.
